Still Moving Forward

Lynnea had a better day today than yesterday.  She didn't spike any high fevers today, and she was in a better mood overall.  Because of her withdrawal symptoms yesterday, she is now getting some oral doses of Dilaudid, and Ativan as they continue to try to wean her off from her IV narcotic drip, so we will most likely be going home on these oral doses and we will wean her off from them slowly at home.  She continues to do well with her G-tube feeds, and they are continuing to slowly increase them.  It looks like she should be completely off from her J-tube feeds before we go home, and we will work on transitioning her from continuous G-tube feedings to bolus G-tube feedings at home.  She continues to need some oxygen support today, but I'm still hoping that once she gets over this cold she seems to have caught we will be able to get rid of her nasal cannula.  She spent much of the day playing and napping on her floor mat, and she went for a wagon ride this afternoon.
